I know these videos were from 3yrs ago but, I've just recently got my boyfriend a beardie as a birthday surprise and tho I've raised snakes most of my life, I don't know the first thing about lizards. These videos have been a huge help for me! I was honestly completely overwhelmed with the amount of care these guys must be handled with and your videos have made everything so simple and easy to understand.

Hows your beardie?? My boyfriend and I just got one this weekend. I've had a few exotic pets in my life but this is my first reptile and I feel like a new mom. SO overwhelming with conflicting advice. But I love this channel

I also have a bearded dragon. She is so spoiled and needy and this was really helpful! Thank you and keep up the great work!👌

I soak all my beardies accessories and decor in bleach water once a week and scub with with a scrub pad underwater after it comes out of the soak, as for his tank I use vinegar and water spray and it cleans it really well

Very helpful video thank you.. I am thinking about getting a bearded dragon of my own. Is it possible to over hydrate your dragon by bathing to much?!?

Hi! i know this video is old, but I saw how you talked about your beardie's tail not being able to shed when it was a baby and that's why it had that little black ball as you called it at the tip. My beardie has had that since I got him and I didn't know what it was so I just left it alone. Am I supposed to do something for that, or should I just continue to leave it alone?

Cool info

I'm using ground walnut shells by Thrive. What's your opinion on that, I was told it's on to use it

What's better sand or tile? If sand which kind ?? Thanks 😊 our dragon is 1 year old 🦎

Our bearded dragon likes to poop on a log in the tank... wouldn't that absorb poop like the carpet? We contact scrub with a disinfectant wipe after but not sure if you have tips.

do you have any thoughts or experiences with the Australian sand?

This is so helpful! Also, I saw that loose particle substrates never really get clean? Like, they leave behind particles so you need too change it once a week. IDK?

That depends, it you're just using loose substrates by themselves, they will need to be changed about once a month. If you're using loose substrate in a bioactive setup, the beneficial bacteria and cleanup crew keep the soil clean for you. 😊

my baby beardie poops on a mat but we disinfect everything every week so shes fine also she lives in a 60 gallon tank and poops on the cold side, and never on the warm side, plus she is always basking high up so im not worried

I m curious about how to get tile on the Tank

I scrub my carpet with antibacterial soap and use a garden hose , come winter it will go in the wash machine I have 2 so one is always getting washed

Which do you prefer: Bearded Dragon or Leopard Gecko? I’m wanting to get a power reptile, but I’m tossed between the two. I do have little reptile experience from a previous leopard gecko.

Also do you sell mushroom ledges on etsy cause If so im happy I found you! I love your stuff I have everyone for all 8 of my reptile babies

Where can i get tile I’m sure Home Depot but what type of tile is it?

Hello, I have a quick question I hope you can answer. What do you use to clean the tank and food/water bowls?

I just got a bearded dragon and her name is Muffin. She is a juvinile and it is towards the end of the first week. Should I bathe her or wait til the second week so she can get used to my hand and touch more

I've used a vinegar and water solution in a spray bottle as a disinfectant and let it air our after. Is this still okay?

Can you tell my bearded dragon toothless that baths are spost to be shallow?? He loves swimming so i make sure the tub is clean of chemicals and i make it shallow at the deeper end. He starts black bearding when i turn off the water and tries to swim while black bearding. I always make sure the shallow end is low enough for him and just watch him swim. Sorry had to share my weird dragon haha :3

Dawn and apple cider vinegar is my go to ! All my cleaning of my animals

You said don't put anything in the bath water, what is the reptile safe stuff your putting in. Is that something I should be using?

I just got one and its still a baby its really picky about veggies is there a eay to get it to eat ittt

How worm do you recimen its water

I would not over bath them or when there babies it is very stressful for them, but helps aid in good hygiene, hydration and helps with shedding and passing bowel movements and tummy aches or problems diagnosed by vet.

My 3rd dragon his name is wizard. When he was a baby he bit off three of his toe’s I was doing HW and he was doing something weird so I went over there he was biting his toes. Took him to the vet and they gave us stuff to clean it while it healed. We had him for a week and was almost done sheading at the pet store they did not help him right and had some left we did not see and it was bugging him so he bit it off 🤦‍♀️

I plain on getting a bearded dragon but how do you take care of the bugs

@ellesreptiles

4 жыл бұрын

I have a couple videos showing how, but essentially, you're going to put the bugs in a sterilite bin that you've put some kind of ventilation in, or a cricket keeper works for smaller amounts of bugs. If it's crickets/dubia, you fill it with egg cartons or toilet paper rolls for them to hide in. You put some kind of hydration in there for them (I just use a plastic container filled with wet napkins). Then you can feed them pre-made things like cricket calcium or bearded dragon pellets, or fresh vegetables. For things like superwoems, you fill a bin or cricket keeper with oatmeal or wheat bran. Then throw in some fresh veggies. 😊 That sounds like a lot but they're very easy to keep!

@ellesreptiles

Dechlorinated water is best. I use reptisafe in my tap water, but you can also buy $1 jugs of distilled water to use (and you don’t have to treat it), or you can distill water yourself but just putting it in a large open container and letting it sit out for a couple days

Vinaigrette with half water kill the poop odor.

I like your channel, but I am curious why you didn’t mention a proper temperature range for water to be instead of saying don’t make it too hot or too cold?

One thing that's wrong is that you can not keep water in the tank, it's best to spray them once or twice a day or the bath will help them to be more hydrated.

In my experience if you don't feed in the enclosure that has sand you don't have to worry about impaction.

She just really didn't like pooping in her tank, so she'd run back and forth when she needed to go. When I noticed that, I'd jump up and put her in the bath. I guess with the repitition of that, she learned that if she ran back and forth, she didn't have to poop in her tank. Now she just uses it as her signal haha

If you're cleaning it appropriately and thoroughly, it can be. The issue with turfs and carpets (other than nails getting caught) is just people not cleaning them correctly, causing bacteria/parasite build up in the tanks.

What’s the best way to sanitize wood decor?

@ellesreptiles

5 жыл бұрын

My favorite is boiling it if it’s small enough (for about 30 minutes to an hour) You can also bake it in the oven at around 200°F for 30 minutes to an hour Or for large pieces, you can soak them in a large container in a bleach water solution for 24 hours - use very little bleach, like a capful. Then you dump it, add fresh water + dechlorinator, soak it for another 24 hours. Dump that, soak again in the fresh water + dechlorinator solution for another 24 hours. You might have to do this until it no longer smells like bleach.

Hey girl! I love your videos and watch all the time... but I’m worried and scared out of my mind! My beardie (9 month old female) hasn’t pooped in 10 days! Her temps are perfect- I’ve become OCD about this - lol. She is acting normal. I’ve already tried the warm baths - 3 days in a roll. I fed her prune baby food mixed with a little olive oil - she ate that like a champ! I did that 2 days in a row. Still nothing. I’m so worried! Is there anything else you can suggest? Or anybody reading this? Help please! 🥺 I have also been rubbing/massaging her tummy also. Nothing feels hard in her tummy & she doesn’t mind me doing it either. 😑

I would definitely take her to the vet if you’re worried. The prune baby food + olive oil would have been my suggestion. If you can get hornworms, they ALWAYS make my beardie go poop. And it can be normal to go that long for them, but since it’s never happened before, I’d definitely go have her checked out just to make sure 🙂 best of luck to you and your beardie!

You shouldn't use regular nail clippers actually they can cause fracturs throughout the whole nail. You have to use nail clippers specifically used for small animals;since they have a circular blade it cuts all around the nail at once rather than cutting just the top and bottom risking nail fractures..
